Hi All, As you know I like a bullet case pen or two.... Good sellers for me:thumbs: So we have 2x. 338 Lapua magnum cases being used These were made on my wood lathe with a 4 jaw chuck... Make sure the cases are 'fired' chuck one up and drill the back (primer end) to take an Omega body tube...

Afternoon, Thuya Burr lined and threaded with an acrylic from Lumber Jimstudios, sporting a #6 Bock (F) nib. A very slight step and fine barrel taper. Its taken a while to find an acylic to compliment the burr but I think this is it. Revised my approach to threading, and I think it's an...

Afternoon, A bit bigger pen this time, turned from a Erinoid blank called St Elmo's Fire, sporting a Bock #5 gold plate nib (F). A very slight barrel taper and a tiny step between the cap and barrel. Still playing with the ratios! Capped length: 147.33mm Uncapped length: 138.43mm Barrel...

Evening all, A simple pen featuring Krinite copper pearl with a Rose Gold Bock nib. (#5 F). Reminiscent of the setting sun, the blank is stunning, the rose gold nib completing the whole. Capped length: 136.33mm Uncapped length: 1126.43mm Barrel diameter: 12.23 - 11.58mm Section length: 26.37mm...

I have learnt today of the sad passing of Mark Baker the Editor of the woodturning magazine which he did for many years. I personally have had quite a few phone call with him and spoken to him at length at different venues. A very sad day for his family and friends as well as the woodturning...

Hi Guys I bought a long length of 27/64 tube along with a couple of other sizes to replace tubes that went wrong due to blowouts etc. Anyway, I had a couple of sirocco kits to makeup but no tubes so I cut the correct length off my long piece of 27/64 and glued them up, etc. I turned the blanks...

Hi guys, just sitting musing.....I do a few bullet pens, never really thought about this but, these 3 are all the same bullet size yet different case lengths....so different pen lengths.....do we have a specific length pen?.....is it just balance/comfort we look for?.....athetics/looks?.... As I...

Any one have the tube length for the TM Sigma Dual Mk2? Les

Ran out of length so I couldn't get the segments centered. Fire Stained Maple and Wenge

This one’s a handful! Italian acrylic, black acrylic accents, and all bronze hardware including my Deco-style clip and “deco-esque” finial fans. This one features 14mm cap threads, an overall length of 155mm, and a black Jowo #6 nib. This is a lot of pen to hang on to…but that’s what the new...

I know the drill bit size is 9mm. Anybody know the tube OD and Length of the Zeta? Les

As some of you know i have only done a couple of craft fairs. The first is best forgotten, the second was pretty good. I have a lot of people asking questions about pen making. So i thought i would make a small video of the process step by step. Obviously it is much abbreviated, 16 mins in...

When drilling these blanks there is always the risk of a blow out when the drill exits thru the bottom of the blank. FOR ME IT'S ABOUT 90%, NO MATTER WHAT DRILLS I USE. So I cut the blank much longer than needed and drill past the tube length. Then cut the blank to length and you end up with a...

Hi I have 3x pens I need spare tubes for... The site i bought the pen kits from i wont mention names does not reply to emails or pick up their phone! Searching the interweb yeilds sites that either dont sell the diameter i want or do but dont advertise the length so pretty useless. I dont...

I brought this many years ago and have never used it. If it is any use to anyone I would be happy to exchange for a Mistral fountain pen kit or a few Omegas. They appear to be around £40 new so works out about half price. I will cover the carriage cost which is a pain as it is around 68 cm...
